I'm trying to do a bit of a cleanup of old kernels on my system, but have run into the error in the title. Not sure why this is, as not trying to do an upgrade and having done full upgrades, thought that this would have been taken care of, but clearly I've done somethig wrong, or the upgrades haven't completed correctly. Any suggestions on how best to sort this?
